| Description of the problem | Hearing whirring and whining noise from drive shaft on 2011 kia sorrento. We think it could be related to the recall: https://www. Nhtsa. Gov/vehicle/2011/kia/sorento/suv/4wd#recalls after calling the dealer - our vin# is not listed with this recall. I've seen several forum posts of other consumers with the same issue with 2011 kia sorrento and na vin#. Such as: http://www. Carproblemzoo. Com/kiamotor/sorento/driveshaft-problems. Php we are going to have this repaired before an accident occurs, but think it should be covered under the recall... |
